Crisis Planning and Worst Case Scenarios

While watching the news, I pulled two books off the shelf:

• 6 Nightmares: Real Threats in a Dangerous World and How America Can Meet Them by Anthony Lake. [Published in 2000.]
• 7 Deadly Scenarios: A Military Futurist Explores War in the 21st Century by Andrew F. Krepinevich. [Published in 2009.]

The second book has a flu pandemic scenario which features "an internal public health crisis of the first order and an immigration crisis as well." [Large numbers of Mexicans cross the border in order to get medical care.]

Not good bedtime reading but the sort of analysis which you hope has already produced some practical contingency plans.
